L’Auberge Espagnole Movie, English subtitles

In L’Auberge Espagnole we meet Xavier, a French Erasmus-student. In Barcelona he shares an apartment with an international group of students. His year in a foreign country turns out to be a life-changing experience. The movie tackles subjects which are familiar to many students in Wageningen: Leaving friends and family behind (and growing apart). The hassle of all the paperwork. Moving to a new, unknown city. Not speaking the language. Living with people from different countries. But also personal exploration and growth, and love.

After the movie we discuss these themes. A Spanish student and a non-Spanish student who lived in Spain are present, to reflect on the movie.
